Are there any easier to use C debuggers than GDB? All I really need to do is watch my variables change with each line.

You know, this might be the most horrific and evil reply I've read on HN. You actually have the fucking nerve to call the murder and oppression of women and gays something that is only bad when you're 'biased'. How can a

Damn it. And I spend so much time making fun of people who can't hear sarcasm.

Uh, no. 'Alpha' as in before 'Beta'.

In the grand scheme, those things are more important. But coming up with an idea or solving a puzzle does not make a person better than another. Getting an Olympic medal could take equivalent effort to making a major scientific breakthrough

I used to be critical of athlete worship, as many nerds are, until I actually started becoming athletic. I still don't like sports culture, but I appreciate athleticism much more now. Intelligence, while important, is not the sole meas

The book is a Kunstlerroman. It tracks his development from infancy to adulthood. I admit the first part of the book isn't nearly as interesting as the later parts. It's still my favorite novel ever, and I'm convinced Joyce m

I don't think this is even a Haskell criticism as much as it is a software engineer criticism. You can be ignorant about hardware in most languages, especially Python. Going by what you've said, it sounds like you want the industr

I don't think I even know what you mean by 'how computers really work'. Isn't the point of languages to create abstractions so I don't need to learn how a CPU works? I understand why Haskell will never become the la

These games got me through very difficult times. When life felt impossible, Dark Souls felt doable. It was punishing at times, but it needed to be like that because life is like that. It would just be a waste of time otherwise. It taught me

Wait, if my phone is IPv6, then what does it mean that a site 'supports' v6? I can get on HN just fine.

Is that so wrong? Must everything we create be for the masses to consume?

I would recommend another Zachtronics game, EXAPUNKS. You write assembly in that game too.

Hacker culture actually has a strong writing tradition. In the 90s it was zines, now its blogs.

You can't always make modern tech as energy efficient as 'regressive' technology. There isn't always a magical solution that addresses all problems. In my opinion, low-tech solutions are often just simpler, while maybe

I'd like to build a raspberry pi based MAME machine for my college, but to get a box to actually put the machine in, its either a lot of time and effort to build one (I do not have woodworking skills, nor the desire to learn) or a lot

That's a great game. I feel like my skills improved a bit playing it.

What are you even talking about? Do you think the current discussion of class in the US comes from Wealth envy? Infrastructure is crumbling. Wages are not keeping up with inflation. Employers have treated employees as their property. A hell

This is why I think the priority for software will shift back towards performance in the coming decades. Even now very few people can get decent GPUs. Who knows if one day chips that can run the latest bloatware will be affordable?
